What Range!

Notice the incredibly incomparable range of God. He's able to identify and take time for a single broken heart, and yet He's also able to catalog each and every star in the universe. At last count, the scientific community estimates there are around 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. That's a lot of stars!
But here's the thing: In many ways it's easier for us to believe God is involved in those "big" things (like all the stars of the universe), than it is to believe He's involved in the "small" things (like us). "With everything going on in the cosmos, God's probably too busy to be bothered with me."
What does the Bible say? It says the same God who oversees the universe is the same God who cares about the brokenhearted. Nothing is too big for Him and nothing is too small for Him…including us. The same attentiveness that God gives to the way the constellations are arranged and coincide with each other is the same attentiveness He has for each and every one of us.
In fact, God is even more attentive to us because He's invested way more in us than in the universe. He sent His own Son to suffer and die for us, not the stars. Scripture is quite clear that God values men and women above all else in creation. So we should never think of ourselves as beyond the range of God's attention and care, or consider our problems or our pain as too insignificant for Him.
Nothing is too big or too small for our God. He's big enough to hold each star in the palm of His hand, all 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of them. And He's "small" enough to see and heal a single broken heart.
Great God, we praise You for being so big yet so small…small enough to see and heal each of us individually.
